CLARK WATSON BON D, OF DENVER, COLORADO STATIONERY PADDING DEVICEApplication filed my 27,

The present invention is directed to improvements in stationery paddingdevices.

The primary object of .the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter adapted to hold groups of paper sheets tightly clamped for theapplication of glue to one of the ends of the sheets preparatory toforming into ads. p Another object of the invention is to provide adevice of this character so constructed that a number of groups ofpaper'sheets of various widths and heights can be clamped for padding atthe same time.

Another object of the invention isto provide a device'of this characterwhich is simple in construction, efficient in operation, durable, andone which canbe manufactured at a very small cost.

With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novelfeatures of construction, format-ion, combination and arrangement ofparts tobe hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure '1 is a front view of thedevice.

Figure 2 is a' sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view showing the mode of fastening thestandards to the presser portions.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary detail perspective view of the lower'end ofone of the side bars of the frame. 7

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a frame formedfromangle iron and bent to provide a horizontal bar 2 and vertical arms 3,the webs of said arms being n split to provide feet 4 adapted to besecured to the bench 5 by screws '6.

A plurality of standards 7 are provided,

' three of which are illustrated, but it will, of

course, be understood that the number of these may be decreased orincreased as de- 1928. Serial No. 295,776.

sired. Since the standards are identical in construction a descriptionof one will suffice for all.

The standard is preferably formed from angle iron bent intermediate itsends to pro vide an upper connecting loop '8, the webs being cut away,as at 10,.to permit forming of the loop. The webs 9 are spaced laterallyto provide a slot 11 in which is slidably received a clamping bolt 12carried by the ver- 55 tical web 13 of the bar 2. The lower end of thestandard is provided with horizontal flanges 14 which are secured to thepresser foot 15 by rivets 16.

Briefly, the operation is as follows:

The paper sheets 17 are placed upon the bench directly under a presserfoot and a standard forced downwardly, after which the clamping bolt 12is manipulated to hold the standard tightly connected with the bar 2.Glue is then applied to the desired ends or sides of the sheets in orderto unite them into pad form.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation, andmany advantages of the herein described invention will 'be apparent tothose skilled in the art, and it will be understood that various changesin the size, shape and proportion and minor details of construction, maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of the invention.

What is claimed is 1. A device of the class described, com prising aframe for attachment to a bench, said frame including a horizontal bar,a standard form from a single length of metal bent intermediate its endsto provide sides laterally spaced providing a longitu dinal slot, aclamping bolt carried by the bar and engaged in the slot for holding thestandard in adjusted position, and a presser foot carried by the lowerend of the standard. 2. A padding device comprising aframe formed ofangle iron and including uprights and a horizontal bar a standard formedfrom angle iron doubled upon itself and having the inner Webs spacedapart to provide a slot and disposed against the vertical Web of thehorizontal bar, the Web at the fold being cut away to provide a loop,and the terminals of the Web being bent laterally, a piesser footsecured to the bent terminals of the standard, and a bolt passingthrough the slot of the standard and through the vertical Web of thehorizontal bar to secure the standard in adjusted position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
